Longoria told police that Sanderson had been drinking at the bar Sunday night, and he saw Sanderson throw a beer bottle behind the bar.

Longoria said he asked Sanderson to leave, and Sanderson walked outside and stood between two cars just past the front patio.

Longoria told police he went outside and again asked Sanderson to leave. Longoria said Sanderson refused and insulted him. Longoria told police he walked toward Sanderson, who started to throw a punch.

In self-defense, Longoria told police, he punched Sanderson in the head. Longoria said his fist landed on Sanderson's temple.

Sanderson fell on his back, and Longoria and another employee moved him to the sidewalk, sat him against a wall and poured water on him in an attempt to wake him up, Longoria told police.

When police arrived, Sanderson was lying on his left side on the sidewalk, “unresponsive but breathing and snoring.” Sanderson was under the influence of alcohol during the fight, police reported.

Sanderson never threw a punch, a detective who watched video footage of the incident said. Longoria was “the first and only one to throw a punch,” police allege.
